Triston Casas emerged as a significant player in his inaugural complete season with the Boston Red Sox in 2023. Despite finishing third in the American League Rookie of the Year voting, Casas showcased his prowess by smashing 24 home runs and achieving a .856 OPS, establishing himself as a cornerstone of the Red Sox’s future. Consequently, Casas has garnered attention from the baseball community as he enters his second full season.
Ranked at No. 97 on MLB Network’s “Top 100 Right Now” list for the 2024 season, the 24-year-old rebounded after a slow start in the first two months, ultimately becoming one of the most formidable hitters in baseball towards the end of the season following crucial adjustments.
MLB Network analyst Cliff Floyd emphasized the importance of adjustments, particularly focusing on hitting to the left-center, especially advantageous when playing at Fenway Park. With the support of players like Rafael Devers, Casas is once again expected to play a pivotal role in driving the Red Sox’s lineup. As he accumulates more big league at-bats, Casas’ potential remains promising.
